About
Brotli is a lossless compression algorithm developed by Google that uses LZ77, Huffman coding, and context modeling to achieve higher data density than 
Gzip for web content.
It is widely supported by modern browsers and servers, is optimized for text-based assets such as 
HTML, 
CSS, 
JavaScript, and fonts, and typically delivers smaller file sizes than gzip while maintaining fast decompression speeds.
Gzip is a file compression technology based on the 🛠️ Deflate algorithm that adds headers and a checksum for data integrity while reducing the size of HTTP responses sent from servers to browsers.
It performs lossless compression of text-based resources such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and 
JSON, is supported by virtually all modern browsers and servers, and typically reduces transfer sizes by about 50 to 70 percent, improving load times and lowering bandwidth usage.
